They want him dead and her enslaved . . .
Texas . . . the heart of a territory that stretches from the golden deserts of New Mexico to the turquoise shores of the Florida Keys. It’s big, it’s rich, and it’s the next battleground for some of the most dangerous vampires in the world.
Christian Duvall . . . charismatic and powerful, and determined to claim the South as his own. But with old enemies and new fighting to stop him, victory suddenly takes on a brutal, and far more treacherous, edge. Because what one of his enemies wants more than anything else already belongs to Christian . . . and her name is Natalie.
Natalie Vivant Gaudet . . . brilliant and lovely, a strong Southern woman who can unravel the most intricate financial schemes designed to swindle and steal. She loves her complex job and the simplicity of her life. And then she meets Christian. He’s beautiful, he’s complicated, and she’ll fight to keep him alive.
With allies trying to kill him, and enemies readying a horde of zombie vampires to roll over all of Texas, it will take every shred of Christian’s power and Natalie’s determination to win this war and give North America a brand new Lord of the South.

ACTION-PACKED, INTRIGUING, RIVETING!! D.B.Reynolds at her absolute BEST!!
Yes, Christian is all of this and more; he will have readers so utterly enthralled they will burn the midnight oil till the last page is read.
I know readers will be just as enamoured by Christian as I am, and that’s a huge call, as Raphael owns my heart. But there’s just something delectable about this alluring Frenchman with his magnetic appeal.
And as many times as I’ve thought that this series could not get any better; every time Ms Reynolds glories in proving me utterly wrong.
A little about CHRISTIAN…….
The European Vampires are breathing down North America’s neck, with the war for supremacy within the Vampire race now in full swing. Deception is around every corner and after the kidnap and torture of Raphael; the North American Vampire Lords are on high alert. But the time has come for Christian to make his presence known and enter the battle for leadership of the South and the much-coveted position of Vampire Lord, even if that means coming face to face with the most powerful Vampire known to man.
It’s no secret that Raphael will play a huge part in deciding who is worthy of winning the ultimate prize that’s the South, as his alliances continue to grow among his peers. But with Christian’s undesirable link to the very woman who almost cost Raphael his very existence, he is subjected to Raphael’s penetrating scrutiny and Cyn’s unrelenting suspicion before he even walks through the door.
Christian commands notice when he enters the room, with his charismatic French charm and devastating good looks, but when he arrives in the South and encounters Natalie Gaudet, he knows she is destined to be his. Smart, sassy and a vision of loveliness, Natalie captivates this formidable man from the moment they meet.
But Christian must be constantly on his guard, as not only is a power struggle about to begin, but one of his rivals has designs of stripping him of more than just his pursuit of the South; someone wants what is ultimately not available, the woman that may very well be his destined his mate.
CHRISTIAN is an exciting and dangerously seductive read that will have you panting for more!
Oh my goodness! D.B. Reynolds has outdone herself this time! The war between the North American and European vampires is heating up with the fight over the South (southern U.S. states). Ever since the previous Lord was killed, Raphael appointed a temporary Vampire to hold the territory…with Raphael’s backing, of course. With new powers in play, the game constantly changing and the seat of the South up for grabs, war is eminent. Sides are taken and loyalties are tested in this latest installment of the Vampires in America series!
This book is SO exciting! I loved the politics and the new players on the scene. And I really enjoyed Christian. I’ll admit, when the story first began, he was stiff and sterile. Come to find out, that’s just his shield. When you get underneath his skin, you’ll find a hot-blooded, extremely sexy, erotically seductive and powerful Vampire. Not to mention he’s tall, blond, heavily muscled and French! Oo la la, indeed!
Natalie is a half-Cajun/half-Creole spitfire from New Orleans with a snarky mouth and wicked intelligence. She definitely gives Christian a run for his money. They fit well together and their chemistry is off the charts! Their sex scenes are so hot, you’ll be scandalized for a week!
The entire book was non-stop action! Several of the Vampire Lords make appearances as well as a few mates. And the epilogue is going to drive you crazy! It’s short, sweet and has just enough suspense to have you BEGGING for the next book!
D.B. Reynolds just keeps getting better and better. Her stories are always well-written and entertaining. I would recommend CHRISTIAN and any of the author’s books, all day every day!
